Infrastructure group in North-east expansion – Aberdeen Business News

Leading international infrastructure group Balfour Beatty has expanded its presence in the North-east of Scotland as part of continued investment in the region.

This year Balfour Beatty has been appointed onto major SSEN Pathway to 2030 framework projects and will deliver schemes in the Aberdeenshire region which will upgrade onshore electricity transmission infrastructure and support Scottish and UK governments to meet their renewable energy and climate change targets.

Balfour Beatty has a long history of delivering major infrastructure projects in the North-east of Scotland, in recent years completing transformation works at Union Terrace Gardens, extension works at Aberdeen International Airport, joint venture partner in the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) as well as constructing a new 400kv substation completed in Peterhead last year.

Balfour Beatty currently employs over 1,900 staff across Scotland and upcoming works in the North-east of Scotland will see the business increase considerably over the upcoming years ahead.

To support the expansion, Balfour Beatty has recently opened a new project office based in Crimond.

As part of Balfour Beatty’s business commitment to the Social Enterprise Scotland ‘Buy Social Pledge’, office furniture for the new office was sourced from local charity Somebody Cares who supplied high end second hand furniture including all desks, chairs, under-counter storage units and meeting room desks and chairs.

In addition, Balfour Beatty has expanded the existing Westhill office, extending into the first floor of the office located in Abercrombie Court in Westhill.

Balfour Beatty has a number of site and office-based career opportunities including Early Careers 2025 roles available within the North of Scotland – to view current opportunities please visit www.balfourbeatty.com/careers
